EVANGELISM, DISCIPLESHIP & MISSIONS (EDM)

B Y   Z E N I T H A    V I C T O R I A    B A D A I celebrate you all in Jesus name. Last week we rounded up our discussion on depression and Christian growth, we want to say thank you for your likes, comments and testimonies may the Lord perfect that which He has started in our lives. Amen. Today, we would be looking at WHAT YOU FEED YOUR SPIRIT MATTERS. It is going to be a two-part blog. We will be answering: THE WHO? THE WHY? And THE WHAT? On the subject of feeding your spirit. Questions to look at this week we will be the WHO? and the WHY? And next week we will be looking into the WHAT? As we go into this session it is important that we allow the Spirit of God ministers to our hearts in Jesus Name. First, let me lay a foundation that will help us understand that it is the spirit in us that makes us different from other animals. In Genesis 1:25-26, God made us to be like him. “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our ima...

Last week we looked at one of the most dreaded words DEPRESSION, which sounds simple but it has growingly become one of life's must threatening epidemic among young people. We say in definition that depression is feelings of severe despondency (low spirits from loss of hope or courage; dejection) its also a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.  We also saw that sadly people fall victim to depression because they want to do things by their strength rather than by Gods ability. When there is no respect and reverence for God, so fear, worry, anxiety become the master...

BY   D A V I D   P A M    M C Q U E L "I was in Walmart with Malinda, my daughter, about an hour ago, looking at the Bibles, and remembered what she had told me about not being able to understand the regular King James version. I found a very nice New King James Version, and was having fun with her, showing her all kinds of great things in it, and all of it was to where she could understand it. I then turned to Hebrews Chapter 11, and told her, "Now This is known of as The Hope Chapter of the Bible." We had just started to read it, when this older, black gentleman walked up suddenly, and exclaimed happily, "You're reading the Bible and I can understand that!" I looked up at him and said, "Yes Sir, as I am showing my daughter the New King James Version, and how much easier it is to understand. It's in the Giant Print." He replied, "Oh, that's what I am needing so much! You see, I love the Lord and the Bible, but I can...

By  Z E N I T H A   V I C T O R I A    B A D A I celebrate you all. Its an honor and a previlege to be given the opportunity to be part of this great platform. I pray that as we look into today's area of concentration, the Holy Spirit will minister to us. Today by God's grace I'll be talking about a very rampant and life-threatening issue: DEPRESSION AND CHRISTIAN GROWTH. As simple as it sounds it has taken a lot of lives. First I'll   like us to look into the meaning, using the Chrome dictionary.  D epression is defined as a feeling of severe despondency(low spirits from loss of hope or courage; dejection).  Its also a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.  In other words depression is a feeling of sorrow or discouragement caused by ANXIETY, and this is a way the devil is ruining lives and   turning   people away from God. As the Bible says in John 10:10...

In these last days when the devil is sweeping away young people like the wind. The appeal today is anything fun and sensual orgy. Its interesting to fine a young person on fired for the Lord.

Chinese authorities are setting quotas on the number of Christians that must be arrested and are threatening police officers with dismissal if they don’t meet the minimum standards, according to a magazine that monitors religious freedom in the country. Under President Xi Jinping (2013- ), the Chinese government has embarked on a 3-phase, 14-year plan to gain total control over Christianity in China. BillionBibles.com gives us an insight into previous harsh treatment of Christians by the Chinese authorities : It is rising sharply, and the current Christian persecution in China is more sophisticated and multi-faceted than in the past, whose mainstay was brute force. Until the 1990s, when the Chinese government discovered an underground church , its members were beaten or fined while their leaders were arrested, tortured, sent to labor camps, killed or simply disappeared. The government also restricted the availability of Bibles (see Amity printing and Project Pearl ). Under Hu ...

C.   A n d e r s o n We recently visited America. Though I was born in Nigeria, my passport says I am an American. I love my country. But I have never felt like a “real” American. As our time back in the USA was drawing to a close, someone asked me, “Are you going home next week?” That is a hard question to answer. Where is home anyhow? Is it where I now live on the mission field (Asia)? Is it my passport country? They both feel like home. Neither of them feels like home. This feels like a kind of “homelessness.” This never quite fulfilled longing for home, is a type of missionary loneliness. It is a tough cross to bear. WE DON’T FIT ANYWHERE As missionaries do you ever feel as if you don’t “fit” in? You are not fully a part of your new culture. You are no longer at home in your old culture either. God wants to use these missionary life challenges to draw us deeper and closer. He wants to turn difficulty into a d...
